Hello everyone,
Last month, I had put together a work plan for Gender gap activities in
India:

I would greatly appreciate it if you could add your suggestions, feedback
and comments to the work plan or post them here. The strategy shared by
Siko Bouterse is full of ideas I could incorporate into the work plan, and
it addresses some of the challenges I have been thinking long and hard
about. I am delighted to see that a Gender gap event in
India<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_strategy_2013#Short_Ter…
be in the offing. :)
Regards,
Rohini

Hi all,
In July, we hosted a small gathering in San Francisco to consider the
current state of the gender gap and brainstorm some initiatives that
community and staff (WMF grantmakers, etc) might work on together in the
coming year. After a shamefully long time,[1] notes from this meeting are
finally up on meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_strategy_2013
Please join
in<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_strategy_2013#August_2013_…nd>,
improve, share your thoughts about what's there or add new
ideas<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_strategy_2013#Brainstor…
the brainstorm list! If people are interested, we might build on this
more together both on meta and at Diversity Conference in Berlin next
month.[2]
I'm also planning to host an IdeaLab session at Diversity Conference to
work together on action plans for diversity-focused projects. If you aren't
able to attend in person, perhaps you'd want to write up your favorite idea
in the IdeaLab instead, to spark some more collaborations?

Warm regards,

[1] Yes, it really did take me 3 months to finish removing an
under-construction template and decide some things are just going to stay
messy, sigh.
[2] Reminder to register by Oct 20th, I understand the program schedule
will be published later this week:
